Aurora CO United States VCA Animal Hospitals Full time
We are looking for a Registered Veterinary Technician to join our brand-new, VCA Urgent Care Animal Hospital in Aurora, CO. The hospital is OPENING on May 15th, 2024.

Have you ever wanted to be on the front lines of innovation? Do you enjoy a fast-paced environment with a collaborative, team-oriented approach to patient care? Can you provide high-quality supportive care while creating a fear-free environment for the patients under your care? You just may find yourself rekindling your JOY for veterinary medicine in this well-designed, people-focused, high-tech hospital with an innovative approach to Urgent Care.

Our Technical team works in pairs to maximize efficiency while providing patient care. Utilizing a digital whiteboard, all diagnostics and treatments are clearly communicated allowing the medical team to complete cases quickly while keeping the doctor up to date on diagnostic results. An emphasis on low-stress handling, hands-free radiology, and a well-organized treatment space allows you to keep the patients calm and safe during their visit. The virtual waiting room has a dynamic capacity analyzer that assesses the team’s pace and updates clients on the wait time digitally. When the team reaches capacity for the day, the waiting room automatically closes. This allows all team members to leave on time, with all medical records and patient care completed. The technician and assistant team only does patient care, not answering phones, presenting estimates, or checking out clients needed.

What You’ll Do

Follow digital treatment plans prescribed by DVM
Obtain quality lab samples via venipuncture, cystocentesis, fecal collection, etc.
Perform in-hospital laboratory diagnostics including fecals, urinalysis, cytology, etc.
Process lab samples utilizing in-hospital laboratory equipment
Use low-stress patient-handling techniques
Perform diagnostic radiographs (hands-free as allowed)
Administer injections, medications, and veterinary care as directed by a veterinarian
Calculate and administer sedation for minor procedures
Administer and monitor general anesthesia, if required
Maintain accurate, complete digital medical records
Fill prescriptions
Maintain a clean work environment including following any infectious disease protocols, handling medical/biomedical, and infectious waste appropriately

Qualifications

Minimum 2 years of veterinary experience in a general practice or emergency setting
Must have a current veterinary technician certification in the state of Colorado or be eligible to transfer/obtain a certification in Colorado.
Ability to operate with a sense of urgency and high pace
Exceptional interpersonal skills
Willingness to jump in as needed
Able to work in a collaborative, team-oriented environment
Comfortable asking for help and clarification when needed
Possess high attention to detail

Schedule: 4/10’s. Full and Part-time positions available. The hospital is open 7 days a week, 10 am-8 pm. One weekend day per week and holiday coverage are required.

Compensation: The pay range for this position is $20 – 27 / hour. Compensation is negotiable based on education, experience, and other relevant credentials.

Location: 6554 S. Parker Rd., Unit 25, Aurora, CO 80016
